CONFIDENCE SHE* FILLS HER
PAIR/ A WEEK IN ADVANCE t v
Nothing To Ik
A DISTRICT ATTORNEY was
having trouble with one of the
witnesses, a rather pugnacious old
man.
“Are you acquainted with any of
the jurymen?” asked the district
attorney.
“More than half,” grunted the
witness.
“Are you willing to swear that
you know more than half of them?”
The old man flicked a glance
over the jury box. “If it comes to
that,” he drawled, “I’m willing to
swear I know more than all of
them put together.”
SETTING AN EXAMPLE
Two judges were arrested for
speeding. When they arrived in
court, no other judge was present,
bo they decided to try each other.
Hie first judge went up on the
bench and said, “You are charged
with exceeding the speed limit,
how do you plead?”
“Guilty,” was the answer.
“You are hereby fined five dol
lars.”
Then they changed places and
again the plea was “Guilty.”
“Hmm,” said the other judge.
‘These cases are becoming far too
common. This is the second case of
this sort we’ve had this morning.
I hereby fine you 10 dollars or 10
days in jail.”
Community Affair
The young man at the summer
resort, who had become engaged
to the pretty girl, received infor
mation that led him to question
her:
“Is it true that since you came
up here you’ve got engaged to
Billy, Ed, George and Harry, as
well as me?”
The young lady assumed an air
of disdain.
“What is that to you?” she de
manded.
“Just this,” he replied gently.
“If it’s so, and you have no objec
tion, we fellows will all chip in to
gether to buy an engagement ring.”
No Fair
“Look here,” said the worried
householder to the new maid, “why
did you tell your mistress what
time I came home last night when
I asked you not to?”
“I didn’t,” replied the maid. “She
asked me what time you got in,
and I told her I was too busy cook
ing the breakfast to look at the
clock.”
Big Difference
Millionaire to beggar: “Be off
with you this minute.”
Beggar: “Look here, mister; the
only difference between you and
me is that you are makin’ your
second million while I’m still
workin’ at my first.”
Just The Same
“Has James changed much in
the years he has l^en away?”
“No, but he thinks he has. He
keeps talking about what a fool he
used to be.”
No Bedfellows
*1 was so cold last night I
couldn’t sleep. I just'lay there and
shivered.
“Did your teeth chatter?”
“I don’t know, we don’t sleep to
gether.”
APPROPRIATE
Son: “Why do dollars have eagles
on them?”
Father: “They’re symbolic of
swift flight.”
INTERFERENCE
“Did your garden do well this
summer?” 0
“No; every time my husband
started digging he found a lot
of worms, so he’d quit and go
Ashing.”
Now He Knows
A comercial traveler, on leaving
a certain hotel, said to the proprie
tor: “Pardon me, but with ' what
materia] do you stuff the beds in
your establishment?”
“Why,” said the landlord, proud
ly, “with the best straw to be
found in the whole country I”
“That,” returned the traveler,
“is very interesting. I now know
whence the straw came that broke
the camel’s back.”

-r-SPORTLIGHT-
These Were the Great Portslders
By GRANTLAND RICE-
E ven HOMER nodded. So did
Shakespeare, KSpling, Keats
and a few others. They were en
titled to nod. Most of us are not.
We haven’t earned any such
breaks. So I apolo
gize to the veteran
fan from New Jer
sey who says that
in picking Young,
Johnson, Alexan
der and Mathew-
son as - baseball’s
four greatest pitch
ers, I mentioned
no left-handers.
Grantland Rice “Were there no
great left-handers?** he asks.
“Were there no left-handers to .
match the great right-hand
ers? There must have been.
Who were they?”
In order to appease the gentle
man from New Jersey and all left-
handed athletes and friends, we’ll
wade into the game’s greatest
left-handers • today and see how
they match the game’s four great
est right-handers.
We are not going as far back as
Toad Ramsay and southpaws of a
forgotten era. This century is late
enough. .
Who have been the greatest
left handers since 1900? Here
are just a few: Carl Hnbbell,
New York Giants; Lefty Grove,
Philadelphia Athletics; Rnbe
Waddell, Philadelphia Athlet
ics; Herb Pennock, Athletics,
Red Sox and Yankees; Eddie
Plank, Philadelphia Athletics;
Doc White, Chicago White Sox;
Art Nehf, New York Giants;
Nap Rucker, Brooklyn Dodg
ers; Howie Pollet, St. Louis
Cardinals; Hal Newhonser, De
troit Tigers (one of the best);
Rnbe Marqnard, Babe Ruth,
Lefty Gomez.
Now there happens to be a pretty
fair list of left - handers in this
limited group. There are fine left
handers not included. But we be
lieve this list covers most of the
good ones and the great ones.
You may notice such names as
Ruth, Marquard and Gomez. Ruth
has the finest left-handed pitching
record. He could easily have been
the greatest left-handed ^pitcher of
all time. Marquard set or tied an
all - time winning record. Lefty
Gomez was the most devastating
left-hander of his day. He was one
of the greatest world series pitch
ers.
All of this goes to show you what
a magnificent list we have all set
from which to pick the four best
men who might match the four
great right - handers we picked
some time ago.
* • •
The Four Top Southpaws
Here are the four top left-hand
ers we have selected along with an
alternate who is hard to leave out.
We have seen them all under ev
ery form of competition. We admit
in advance that we can be wrong.
But wrong or right, here they go—
No. 1 Carl HnbbelL New
York Giants.
No. Z Herb Pennock, Athlet
ics, Bed Sox, Yankees.
No. S Robert Moses (Lefty)
Grove, Athletics.
No. 4 George Edward (Babe)
Waddell, Athletics.
No. 5 Eddie Plank, Athletics.
We have never yet been able to
figure why Connie Mack had the
type of mind to go for left-handed
hurlers. Yet it was Connie Mack
who produced the best of them and
the most of them.
Connie Mack, or Mr. McGillicud-
dy, should have an evenly bal
anced mind. Among his right
handers he had Chief Bender and
Jack Coombs. But among his left
handers he had Eddie Plank, Rube
Waddell, Lefty Grove, Herb Pen
nock, most of the great ones. Mr.
Mack must have been a left-hand
dreamer. His phantasies must
have roamed in the mystic heav
ens of the southpaws.
Connie will tell yon that Chief
Bender was his meet depend
able harler. But he will also
ten yon Rnbe Waddell was Ms
most brilliant all-around pitch
er and that Lefty Grove was
the all - time sharpshooter.
(Look at Grove’s record.) He
win Inform yon that Eddie
Plank was the old reliable--he
won 283 games for the Ath
letics.
The only great left-hander Con
nie Mack never handled was Carl
Hubbell, the old meal ticket—the
pitcher many old baUplayers will
tell you was the greatest pitchev
that ever threw a ball.

Thu Improved Tigers
It is quite possible that Red
Rolfe’s Detroit Tigers are not go
ing to win the 1950 American
league pennant. But it is no part of
a certainty that they won’t. At
least the ex-Dartmouth entry won’t
be very far away.
The Tigers rate with the Indians
and the Indians are not too far be
low the Red Sox and Yankees. The
fact is the American League has
five improved teams that Ibok to
be stronger than last year.

Walker’s advice is more

crops well fed with nitrogen, j
